Ibn ʿUmar used to rent his farms in the time of Abu Bakr, ʿUmar, ʿUthman, and in the early days of Muawiya. Then he was told the narration of Rafiʿ 'bin Khadij that the Prophet ﷺ had forbidden the renting of farms. Ibn ʿUmar went to Rafiʿ and I accompanied him. He asked Rafiʿ who replied that the Prophet had forbidden the renting of farms. Ibn ʿUmar said, "You know that we used to rent our farms in the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the yield of the banks of the water streams (rivers) and for certain amount of figs.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to forbid the renting of land. So Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) abandoned it, and subsequently whenever he was asked about it, he said: Rafi b. Khadij (Allah be pleased with him) alleged that Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade it.  

مسلم:١٥٤٧d – وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ

أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يُكْرِي مَزَارِعَهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَفِي إِمَارَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلاَفَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ حَتَّى بَلَغَهُ فِي آخِرِ خِلاَفَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ يُحَدِّثُ فِيهَا بِنَهْىٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنْ كِرَاءِ الْمَزَارِعِ فَتَرَكَهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ بَعْدُ وَكَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْهَا بَعْدُ قَالَ زَعَمَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْهَا

[Machine] "The land used to be cultivated during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with barley and some straw, I do not know what it is. And Ibn Umar used to cultivate his land during the times of Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and the beginning of Mu'awiya's rule until he heard that Rasulullah ﷺ prohibited the renting of farms. So he stopped cultivating it and whenever he was asked, he would say, 'Ibn Khadijah claims that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited renting farms.'"

[Machine] Ibn 'Umar used to rent out his farms during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, and Sadr during the reign of Mu'awiyah. Then a man came to him and said, "Rafi' ibn Khadij claims that the Prophet ﷺ forbade renting out farms." Nafi' said, "So Ibn 'Umar went to Rafi' and I went with him. Ibn 'Umar asked Rafi', 'What have you heard about renting out farms from the Prophet ﷺ?' Rafi' replied, 'Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade renting out farms.' After that, whenever Abdullah was asked about renting out farms, he would say, 'Rafi' ibn Khadij claims that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade it.'"
